"Swamp where partially submerged giants lie wailing as scavengers eat their still-living flesh" and "Flood Pit of Eternal Rot where the putrefying remains of great hunters, too vile even for maggots, fester and blossom with mold" are both very much extremely levels designed by Miyazaki Hidetaka.

I'm oddly fond of the BaBR Allosaurus. It's not perfect by any means, but it hits a bunch of nice spots (plus the short itself is just brilliant). The couple of things that I dislike from Frontier's are the crests, which are too streamlined. To the point where the top of head looks almost too uniform. And then the arms which look cartoonishly huge, as if it had two excavators attached (in contrast BaBR's are small-ish, but look less out of place). I'm also not a fan of the mouth/dentition of either. Frontier's looks as if it had a massive overbite while BaBR's has the trademark sickly needle cushion that all the JW Big Bad Dinos get. All that being said, I agree with you all in everything else. The squishy bits look particularly good in Frontier's version. Props to them as usual!

This might actually be one of my favourite SC vids, for the simple reason I believe they touched on all the things that make Allosaurus such an interesting animal, and also one of my top 5 dinos. I especially loved the segment where Scott spoke on the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. Learning about the fossil evidence we have on sites like that and specimens like Big Al give us a genuine glimpse into how these large predators might have lived their lives hundred of millions of years ago and that's so cool to me. This really reminded me of why I love learning about dinosaurs! 😊

Okay idea to clear the backlog of undescribed specimens and train new paleontologists…. I’m suggesting that for paleontologists in training at institutions of higher education and formalized training programs have a back logged specimen assigned to them and they are educated in the process of proper description writing. Students get published and hands on training, science as as whole gets more data.
@alexruebenstahl6342 Күн бұрын
This is pretty much what happens in most PHD programs already. It won't really alleviate the back log for a few reasons. 1. The volume of undescribed material is enormous. 2. Programs have limited spaces. 3. The necessary training and writing to produce good descriptions takes 2 or 3 years from a generalized background. The solution to this problem, like most, is money. If we want more students, programs need more money to hire them. We need more money to manage collections. Etc.

Alex is right on the money (no pun intended). It's very rare for a PhD student to be working on truly "new" specimens because it takes so long for fossils to be prepared and curated, and most PhDs include some degree of reassessment of historic specimens. For example, when Alex and I started our description of Kuru kulla, the specimen had been awaiting study for about 30 years, and that project became a really important lesson for us in a number of aspects of descriptive paleontology. I can certainly say that it made me a much better scientist than I was when I started. In terms of this Allosaurus, the most immediate constraining step is that it's mounted on display, and most mounts do not allow for the easy removal of material for study (more modern mount technology can allow this, but even now it puts the specimens at risk to move them repeatedly. Nowadays we usually 3D scan every bone at high fidelity before it's mounted, but that technology only became feasible within the last 5-10 years). I assume that if the AMNH ever dismounts it during a renovation, it'll get its day then.

I loved the conversations about the quarries. I think it would make a great series of videos ijn the future. Talking about the quarries, their history and significance as well as the animals and knowledge that could be learned from there. It would also open more times to these discussion noit just the JW game. I can imagine for example Dr. Napoli and the crew talking about the finding of the 20ish Albertosaurus in Canada and its significance. Anyway thank you very much for this video. I really enjoyed Allosaurus.

I'm curious if Allosaurus excessive injuries are just a thing for large apex therapods. Like don't most Trex have some injuries as well?
@kevinnorwood8782 Күн бұрын
I know that because of his size, Allosaurus isn't technically a "Megatheropod", but because of the kind of prey that he was taking on and hunting, I strongly find myself classifying him as one, or at the very least, the prototype for Megatheropods. Would you guys at the Skeleton Crew agree or disagree with this assessment?
@adamtruong1759 Күн бұрын
I'll admit, the 2022 Allosaurus model looked a lot more menacing and imposing in BaBR than in-game. It's a shame since I was kind of looking forward to it when it was going to be released, oh well. The OG model is still quite neat.

EDIT: nevermind, I commented this before reaching the part where James mentioned this explicitly! Is anagenesis the same/similar to chronospeciation? I've always heard chronospecies as a term to describe a species who, over time, change enough across their whole population to be considered another distinct species(Triceratops horridus -> Triceratops Prosus, is the example I was given when being told this).

The timing is interesting considering I've recently run into 1/5 of the crew because of some work I'm doing with Yale's (Princeton's actually) _Allosaurus._ While visiting, I came across one of the skeletal casts in the collections that I thought was gonna go on display in the new Peabody, and apparently that was the plan, but it turns out it was apparently too small to be impressive, especially considering that they wanted to have it attacking the _Stegosaurus._ A suggestion was made to depict it as an enrollee at the Jurassic School of Hard Knocks and getting beat up by said _Stegosaurus_ in the same way the _Ceratosaurus_ at the Smithsonian is mounted, but that idea got shot down.

1:17:45 Interestingly, Andrea Cau's phylogeny in his 2024 paper on "A Unified Framework for Predatory Dinosaur Macroevolution" places Saurophaganax as a metriacanthosaurid closely related to Yangchuanosaurus. This may not pan out, but it is interesting nonetheless. The currently described specimens are not that good anyway to really know what it actually looked like, so who knows.

Hey, that allosaurus pack hunting thing. At least for me, I've heard Allosaurus referred to "The Lion of the Jurassic" so that could be where it comes from. At least in my opinion, 90% of their food is multi-ton, well armored and very deadly animals, so it makes sense to hunt in a group, even 3 or 4 individuals could work together and bring down a stegosaurus or diplodocus.
